Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Not long after Chu Qing exited the city gates, he immediately unleashed his soul power, flying forward at full speed in an attempt to put as much distance between himself and the city as possible.

Unexpectedly, a powerful wave of soul power surged toward him. A pair of withered hands clamped onto his shoulders, and his entire body went numb as if struck by lightning.

Chu Qing hurriedly circulated his soul power, struggling with all his might, but those seemingly thin, weak hands remained firmly locked onto his shoulders. Even using every ounce of his strength, he could not break free.

It seems I couldn't escape after all. Chu Qing sighed inwardly, and suddenly, his vision went black as he lost consciousness.

When Chu Qing awoke, he found himself in a mountain cave. He immediately circulated his soul power, and the Nihility Devouring Flame instantly manifested, surrounding his body to form a protective layer.

"Stop struggling. Even if you are a genius, you are no match for this old man right now."

Chu Qing looked up to see the person before him staring coldly. The man had long, ink-green hair, a stern gaze, and an aura of chilling gloom radiating from his entire being.

"This junior, Chu Qing, greets Senior Dugu." Upon seeing who it was, Chu Qing immediately ceased his struggle and bowed.

"Innate Full Soul Power, a formidable physical body, defeating both Yu Tianheng and my granddaughter in succession, and you even identified my identity at first glance. Kid, you are quite extraordinary." Dugu Bo watched him with keen interest, his eyes like a venomous snake in the shadows watching prey that had wandered near its territory.

Just as Chu Qing was about to speak, a large hand clamped tightly around his throat. Dugu Bo released him only when he was on the verge of suffocation and said, "Speak! What is the use of Whale Rubber? Is your strong physical body a result of this item?" A ruthless glint shone in Dugu Bo's eyes; he had no time to chat with a child and intended to extract the most valuable answers in the shortest time possible.

Chu Qing took several deep breaths, thinking to himself, Poison Douluo is exceptionally sinister. If I say the wrong thing now, my life will be forfeit. After a brief moment of thought, he Kaidō: "You are already on the verge of death, old thing, and you still have the mind to worry about Whale Rubber?"

Dugu Bo was stunned. He had not expected this little brat to dare speak to him in such a manner, and he immediately roared, "What did you say?!!"

"I didn't expect that even though Senior Dugu is on the brink of death, you still have the heart to ponder over Whale Rubber. How truly pathetic and lamentable!"

Dugu Bo had been struck where it hurt most. His heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm. "What a joke! I am a dignified Title Douluo who has roamed the world for a lifetime without an equal. How could I be on the verge of death? You brat, are you still spouting nonsense even with death staring you in the face?"

"Your death is of no consequence; after all, you are an old man of considerable age. It is just a pity for your beautiful and adorable granddaughter, who is also afflicted with severe poison at such a young age and has little time left!"

At this, Dugu Bo completely lost his composure and roared, "You brat, how dare you spout such nonsense! I see you are courting death!"

A terrifying pressure instantly swept over Chu Qing, and Dugu Bo prepared to strike.

Chu Qing withstood the pressure and said, "Does Senior Dugu not want to know how to cure the poison!"

Dugu Bo paused. Could this brat really know how to cure it? He looked at the boy—young yet possessing such skills, low in status yet neither servile nor overbearing. Could such a strange youth truly have a way?

His own poison was one thing, but the last thing he wanted to see was his precious granddaughter also suffering from it, inheriting this fate of carrying such lethal toxins! Even if there were only a glimmer of hope, he was willing to try.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo withdrew his soul power and said, "Hmph! I will give you a chance. If you can save me, I promise to do three things for you! Do not think that is little; you should know the weight of a promise from a Title Douluo here on the Douluo Continent! If you dare to deceive me, I will ensure you die without a burial ground!"

Seeing that the situation had eased, Chu Qing said, "Actually, this is not difficult. The only thing I need to resolve is that I require several rare medicinal herbs. I wonder if Senior Dugu has them?"

Dugu Bo sneered. He had played with poison his entire life; if it were other rare items, he might not have them, but when it came to medicinal herbs...

"You have asked the right person! The one thing I, Dugu Bo, do not lack is medicinal herbs! Follow me!"

He immediately grabbed Chu Qing and flew down from the cave halfway up the mountain. Before long, they arrived at a valley in the forest. At a height of about a hundred meters above the valley floor, Dugu Bo loosened his grip and threw Chu Qing out!

He truly could not stand this arrogant, overbearing brat who kept calling him an "old thing." Although he could not kill him yet, giving him a show of force was perfectly fine.

Dugu Bo watched Chu Qing with a cold sneer, imagining the boy begging for mercy. He had never intended to kill him, only to teach him a lesson. With his strength as a Title Douluo, saving a child from a hundred-meter drop was effortless.

He waited quietly for the sound of Chu Qing's pleas, but it never came. Instead, the scene before him left him utterly shocked.

He saw a pair of wings made of flame sprout from Chu Qing's ribs, allowing him to fly down steadily.

Once again, Dugu Bo's worldview was reshuffled.

Chu Qing ignored him and carefully observed the scene before him. There was a hot spring in the valley, and although the pool was not large, it was clearly divided into two distinct colors: milky white and vermilion.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!" Chu Qing looked at the spring water in excitement. It seemed he was going to strike it rich this time.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Are you talking about this spring water?" Dugu Bo had caught up and asked, puzzled.

"That's right!" Chu Qing could not hide his excitement as he said, "With this, I have a seventy percent chance of curing your poison!"

"What? Only seventy percent?" Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

"Having a seventy percent chance to cure a poison you've had for decades is already no small feat. Do you have a better method?" Chu Qing said dismissively.

Dugu Bo's expression tightened. Chu Qing was right. For decades, he had searched for a solution, traveling across the entire Douluo Continent without success. His parents, children, and others had all died because of it, leaving only his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and now even she...

"What exactly is the method?" Dugu Bo forced down his impatience and asked anxiously.

After all, this concerned not only his own life but also that of his granddaughter.

If he could save his granddaughter, let alone three favors, he wouldn't care if he died himself!

"Before I tell you, you must first agree to one condition," Chu Qing said with a grin.

"Speak quickly!" Dugu Bo was nearly driven mad. He hadn't expected that even after arriving here, Chu Qing would still be making demands! If it weren't for Yan Yan, he would have slapped him to death long ago!

"You must let me choose from the immortal herbs in this medicinal garden!" Chu Qing said seriously.

"Is that all? Forget about choosing immortal herbs; if you can cure the poison in my body, what would it matter if I gave you the entire garden?"

"Good! Senior Dugu is generous!" Chu Qing chuckled, then prepared to tell Dugu Bo the method for curing the poison.
